Abstract

An adjustable, removable, strap device primarily for use in bundling and holding electrical cords and cables, such as from office equipment or kitchen appliances, in a compact position above the floor or kitchen counter. Such compact, elevated position in an office helps to prevent tripping and in a kitchen keeps the cords off of the wet counter to reduce the risk of electrical shock, and which also provides a neat, tidy appearance. The device includes a flexible strap member having a plurality of headed pins at a top end and a plurality of mating holes in a bottom end thereof. A transverse slot is disposed adjacent the pins toward the bottom end of the flexible strap member. The strap device is used by doubling over on itself and inserting the bottom end through the transverse slot forming a cable support loop. The pins are engaged into the holes to secure the loop around the cables. The strap device is attached to a wall or other such vertical surface using a nail, double-sided adhesive tape, or adhesives. Multiple strap devices can be connected together to suit the particular cable sizes.
